	Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The entry of a matrix A that lies in the i -th row and the j-th column is called the i,j entry or (i,j)-th entry of A.
		A 1 × n matrix (one row and n columns) is called a row vector, and an m × 1 matrix (one column and m rows) is called a column vector.
		The rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the image of the linear map represented by A; this is the same as the dimension of the space generated by the rows of A, and also the same as the dimension of the space generated by the columns of A.

	Matrix multiplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matrix multiplication is not commutative (that is, AB ≠ BA), except in special cases.
		Although matrix multiplication is not commutative, the determinants of AB and BA are always equal (if A and B are square matrices of the same size).
		Strassen's algorithm, devised by Volker Strassen in 1969 and often referred to as "fast matrix multiplication", is based on a clever way of multiplying two 2 × 2 matrices which requires only 7 multiplications (instead of the usual 8).

		Frequently, multiplication is implied by Juxtaposition rather than shown in a notation.
		Once multiplication has been defined for natural numbers, it can be extended to include integers, and then to real and complex numbers.
		Most, such as lattice multiplication, require a multiplication table of memorized or consulted products of small numbers (typically any two numbers from 0 to 9); the peasant multiplication algorithm does not.

		If a matrix has exactly as many rows as it has columns, we say it is a square matrix.
		Multiplication of two matrices is allowed provided that the number of columns of the first matrix equals the number of rows of the second matrix.
		Under the correspondence of matrices and linear transformations, one can show that matrix multiplication is equivalent to composition of linear transformations, which explains why matrix multiplication is defined in a manner which is so odd at first sight, and why this strange manner of multiplication is so useful in mathematics.

	Tuning Strassen's Matrix Multiplication for Memory Efficiency
		Strassen's algorithm for matrix multiplication gains its lower arithmetic complexity at the expense of reduced locality of reference, which makes it challenging to implement the algorithm efficiently on a modern machine with a hierarchical memory system.

	Interpretation of matrix multiplication?
		Matrix multiplication is clearly defined but is there a tangible or physical interpretation for it?
		I am thinking about each column of the matrix as vectors so matrix multiplication with two 2by2 matrices is about multiplying 4 vectors in a certain way.
		A good interpretation is this: You can view your matrix as the matrix of a linear transformation (mapping) between two vector spaces (of finite dimension) in fixed basis for the two vector spaces.
